While I only called part of the twists, I still like the way we got there for the most part. Writing was a little childish, but that might be for the sake of the characters' loose grips on reality. It definitely had suspense and kept me reading and wondering how it would all unfold. And like I said, I was surprised at times.

Snowed in at the house of a missing psychiatrist with her husband, a woman listens to tapes of the therapist's sessions to try to solve her murder. But is someone else in the house? And one simple fact rules, everyone lies...
I enjoyed this book. It had twists I didn't see coming! I saw parts of one twist but only about a quarter of the true twist. The characters, however, weren't very likable. Tricia bent way too much to her husband and wasn't assertive at all through most of the book just her husband knows best.
Overall, a great thriller. Just not as enjoyable as it could have been with a more likable MC, but I see how that served the greater story.
